Since Siggi wants to get to the bottom of this, I have a question concerning the watertightness of the gunports when not using Druxey's supported method. Wouldn't it be so that the oak used in constructing the timbers would result in a far less watertight closure (due to the rigidity of the wood) than when using a softer wooden lining as advocated by Druxey? -
Interesting questions, Mark - not all, and not only "famous" ships, the destroyer I build presently, and the ones before, are not really famous, although the type may be - it does e.g 1:200 , 1:350, 1:72, 1:24 (the latter two mainly airplanes) - he could, but he might miss some parts he used on his previous build. I used some of previous buids to enhance my builds even with the detailup set for that ship as I found it lacking

ah, you were talking slices sorry Sjors, for the capture of your log. However, I do have a question for you. I found the kit's cranes a bit sloppy, any improvement on that part, when I see what's possibke with PE, I wonder why it isn't used on the wooden kits ...

Thanks Pat, much appreciated Added some ammo boxes, broke the top of the for'ard mast, so I've got some renovating to do. Whats left ... well ... working on the rear tripod, some touch up paintwork, the railings, a quad pompom which will arrive January next, rudder, anchors, need to give the hull a mat varnish, and after that the screws ... ah yes ... OC's favorite: rigging ... Still looking for some anchor chains at scale ... very hard to come by

It seems you can't have both, and sharp edges and a turntable ... looks very good though. Just needs a bit of a distant view

Dunno about the American version of Swiss cheese, but the European is very hard to look through ...

You should take a look a pre-dreadnaught and dreadnaught type warships ... maybe they just were afraid of loosing an anchor ...

Not bad for a first at 1:350. Even the plastic at this scale is fiddly stuff ... but now we expect more ...

Might be, one never knows how the wheel turns ... Eastern Frysian is German right. I would expect them to be Baroque lovers, so Art Nouveau ... could not be part of your preferences ... but that's the German ancestry from my grandfather

Not even a first edition, Jan ...?

Thanks for the comments, and likes gents. Hope to do some more work before we switch years ...

It seems your xmas pressy was building time without reserves ... looks already impressive, whilst I am waiting for the detailup set - I ordered it in Germany as postage and price were a better deal than from RGL's corner or for that matter even the UK - you are at full spead ahead ... ah well, I could always squeeze in another minor build if the brass fittings take to long ...

Merry Christmas to you and the family, Patrick

So glad I'm sitting at this end of the model, and I can leave it up to you ... yet another impressive feat ... Have a Merry (and not to sweaty) Xmas Dan

Hmmm, a lot different from mine ... I had to cut the frames first ... Will you install a bow prop?
